What we are seeing at this border is a human‑rights crisis. Poland and Belarus have created a ‘death zone’, where people are trapped in the forest for weeks or months, without food or water, and are exposed to extreme weather.

Today I wrote about new advice from the Netherlands to get emergency kits that last at least 72 hours. 24% of Dutch people own emergency kits, a rise from 15% in 2024, according to a new study. Only 17% of those surveyed believes it not to be necessary. What do we think? Do we need to stock up?

The Spanish version of the official White House page has been taken down, and its social media was also disbanded. It comes after Trump signed a flurry of executive orders on his first day in office, including on immigration, a keystone of his campaign that he pledged to crack down on.
